[长难句解析]

1.I break off a piece of candy and take pleasure in its sweet outside and the bitter, dark chocolate inside, thinking of my own life.

[翻译]我折断一块糖果，吃掉了外面甜甜的东西也品尝了里面的黑色的巧克力，同时也想起了自己的生活。

[分析]本句是一个省略句，在and后面承前省略了take pleasure in its；另外本句中的现在分词短语thinking of my own life在句中做状语，因为动词think of与句子主语构成逻辑上的主动关系，所以使用现在分词。

2. Being raised by a single parent was a bitter-sweet experience, which gave me motivation and ambition.

[翻译]被一个单身父母抚养长大是一个既苦涩也甜美的经历，这给了我动力和野心。

[分析]本中的主语是动名词短语Being raised by a single parent，表示经常性，习惯性的行为。另外本句中还含有一个非限制性定语从句which gave me motivation and ambition.

Which指代前面一句话的内容，在句中做主语。
